Multi-piece solid golf ball

Abstract

The present invention provides a multi-piece solid golf ball, which is superior in rebound characteristics, flight performance and durability, while maintaining good productivity. The present invention relates to a multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a core, an intermediate layer formed on the core and a cover covering the intermediate layer, wherein the intermediate layer is formed from an intermediate layer composition comprising a functional group modified resin as a main component, the cover is formed from a cover composition comprising a resin having polar site that can react with the functional group of the functional group modified resin in the intermediate layer as a main component, and a hardness of the intermediate layer is lower than that of the cover.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a multi-piece solid golf ball. More particularly, it relates to a multi-piece solid golf ball, which is superior in rebound characteristics, flight performance and durability, while maintaining good productivity.[0002] In golf balls commercially selling, there are solid golf balls such as two-piece golf ball, three-piece golf ball and the like, and thread wound golf balls. Recently, the two-piece golf ball and three-piece golf ball, of which flight distance can be improved while maintaining soft and good shot feel at the time of hitting as good as the conventional thread wound golf ball, generally occupy the greater part of the golf ball market. Multi-piece golf balls represented by the three-piece golf ball have good shot feel while maintaining excellent flight performance, because they can vary hardness distribution, when compared with the two-piece golf ball.[0003] The three-piece solid golf balls are obtained by inserting an intermediate l...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008] A main object of the present invention is to provide a multi-piece solid golf ball, which is superior in rebound characteristics, flight performance and durability, while maintaining good productivity.

[0009] According to the present invention, the object described above has been accomplished by providing a multi-piece solid golf ball comprising a core, an intermediate layer and an cover; using a functional group modified resin as a base resin for the intermediate layer; using a reactive resin with the functional group of the functional group modified resin in the intermediate layer as a base resin for the cover; and adjusting a hardness of the intermediate layer to be lower than that of the cover; thereby providing a multi-piece solid golf ball, which is superior in rebound characteristics, flight performance and durability, while maintaining good productivity.

Problems solved by technology

However, the adhesion between the intermediate layer and cover is not sufficiently obtained yet by only the method, and it is problem that the durability is degraded because of the loss of the rebound characteristics and spin amount of the resulting golf ball.

The adhesion between the intermediate layer and cover is improved, but it is problem that a process of forming the cover on the intermediate layer is complicated to degrade the productivity.
